SGS Professional Drywall Dowels / Wall Anchors (Models SGS6135 & SGS6136)
Eliminate the frustration of loose screws and damaged plasterboard with the SGS Professional Drywall Dowels (Wall Anchors). A high-volume essential in the hardware catalog, these specialized plastic fasteners are designed exclusively to conquer the challenges of mounting into hollow drywall and gypsum board. When driving a screw into drywall without a backing stud, standard masonry plugs often spin freely or pull right out under minimal weight, leaving a ruined, gaping hole. These engineered dowels solve that problem by providing a stable, expanding anchor point that securely grips the soft inner core of the plasterboard.
The core advantage of the SGS Drywall Dowel is its precision-molded expansion mechanism and anti-rotation profile. Upon inserting the corresponding 2mm or 3mm screw, the anchor’s body expands outward, driving its ribbed fins securely into the surrounding gypsum. This aggressive grip completely prevents the plug from spinning in the wall as the screw is tightened. Designed to safely support lightweight fixtures without compromising the structural integrity of the drywall sheet, these fasteners are highly cost-effective and strictly packaged in massive 500-piece bulk packets to support the heavy consumption rates of commercial electricians, decorators, and drywall contractors.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Drywall-Specific Expansion: Engineered to expand smoothly and securely within hollow plasterboard, providing a firm, reliable hold where traditional masonry plugs easily fail.
-
Anti-Rotation Fins: Features specialized external ribbing that bites deeply into the soft gypsum, completely preventing the anchor from spinning during screw insertion.
-
High-Density Plastic Construction: Manufactured from durable, age-resistant plastic that will not crack, snap, or become brittle inside the wall over time.
-
Safe for Lightweight Mounting: The ideal fastening solution for securing electrical trunking, smoke detectors, thermostats, brackets, and lightweight frames to hollow walls.
-
Bulk 500-Piece Packets: Packaged and sold in high-volume bags containing exactly 500 dowels, ensuring commercial framing and finishing crews never run out mid-job.
Applications: Highly recommended for fastening lightweight fixtures into hollow plasterboard, gypsum board, and thin paneling. Ideal for electricians, HVAC technicians, and interior decorators.
